Faakhir Mehmood
Faakhir Mehmood (Urdu: فاخر محمود; born 20 April 1973) is a Pakistani singer, keyboardist, composer, music producer, and Actor. He started his career with the Pakistani musical group Awaz in 1992. However, due to conflicts of interest, the band split in 2000 and its members went on to pursue solo careers. The band Awaz also consisted of well known musician Haroon.
Faakhir was born on 20 April 1973 in Rawalpindi. attended the University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila earning a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering. His earliest exposure to music was when he purchased an harmonica at the age of 8.
During his university years, Faakhir met another young singer, Haroon. Together, they formed the band Awaz in 1992. Faakhir joined the band as a keyboardist and Asad Ahmed as a guitarist.
After the band split in 2000, Faakhir embarked on a solo career. Faakhir started working on his album Aatish in July 2000 by releasing his first single in August, a national song "Dil Na Lagay, Pakistan". After deciding to go solo, Faakhir started work on his debut album, Aatish, which was released in 2002. He followed it up with Sub Tun Sohniyeh in 2003, and Mantra in 2005. The music video of his song "Dilruba", shot in Spain, was reportedly the most expensive music video back then.
In Mantra, there is a song called "Jiya Na Jaye", in which Faakhir shares a duet with Indian singer Sunidhi Chauhan. Another song in that album called "Mahi Ve" won two awards at India's Sangeet Natak Akademi Awardss. [citation needed] He also performed at that event. [citation needed]
In 2011, he released his fourth solo album, Jee Chahay. Ali Ather of Views Craze wrote, "Although not better than Faakhir's previous works, ' Jee chahay, ' the album composed and produced by Faakhir himself comes out to be a pretty decent effort." Rafay Mehmood of Express Tribune said, "Even though Jee Chahay, which comprises 10 songs, might not come close to his previous offering Mantra, which was released in 2005, it still manages to give the listener some tunes worth humming."
In 2016, Faakhir featured in Coke Studio as a singer with "Dilruba Na Raazi", a Pashto traditional folk song, which he sang along with Zeb Bangash. He then appeared with Natasha Khan and performed "Dil Kamla".
Trained as an electrical engineer, Faakhir has cited this background as influencing his interest in electronic equipment and audio technology, leading him to establish a recording studio, TwentyFourSeven, in Karachi. He has continued to upgrade the studio’s technical capabilities, which undertake projects for artists, record labels, television and film productions, and advertising agencies. His compositions have also been used in commercial advertising campaigns, including work associated with music groups.
